Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with Professor Christian Ringle and Dr Marko Sarstedt

Date/Time
Date(s) - 13/07/2020 - 14/08/2020 All Day

Audience:

This six-part online course participants to the state-of-the-art of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using the SmartPLS 3 software. The first day of the course provides a profound introduction to PLS-SEM. Participants will learn the foundations of PLS-SEM and how to apply it by means of the SmartPLS 3 software. The course continues with advanced topics including mediation, moderation, higher-order models, and the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA). At the end of the course, a live (online) wrap-up session includes case study exercises, questions and answers, and an outlook on additional advanced topics.

This online course has been designed for full-time faculty and PhD/DBA doctoral students who are interested in learning how to design their research towards more rigorous and publishable outputs that potentially survive the test of time and are more frequently read and cited. A basic knowledge of univariate and multivariate statistics and SEM techniques is helpful and priority will be given to researchers with this basic knowledge.

The deadline for application is Monday 22nd June. If you would like to be considered for a place, please contact narti@lubs.leeds.ac.uk before the deadline stating why you wish to be considered and any prior knowledge and experience of univarite and multivariate statistics and SEM techniques.
